Domestic violence is a critical issue that affects not only the parties involved but also the broader family dynamics, especially when child custody is in question. In Illinois, the courts take allegations or history of domestic violence very seriously when making custody decisions. Pinkston Law Group, P.C., with a deep understanding of family law and a commitment to advocating for the rights and well-being of our clients and their children, provides insight into how these factors can influence custody outcomes.
In Illinois, child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child, a principle that guides the court’s decisions. The law specifically requires courts to consider any past act or threat of violence by a parent, whether directed against the other parent, the child, or another person living in the child’s home. This consideration is part of a broader evaluation of the parent’s ability to care for and provide a safe environment for the child.
